Using Organic or Synthetic Fertilizers

Should I use organic or synthetic fertilizers?
When crops are harvested, the soil loses valuable nutrients. Without fertilizer, it can take so many years for topsoil to regain the proper amount of nutrients needed to be productive.
This is where fertilizers come in.
However, an oversaturation or improper application of fertilizer can cause soil degradation and serious environmental implications. What you need to know, planning which fertilizer to use is key, depending on the season. Proper planning will allow greater yields, slower release of nutrients, and minimal agricultural runoff.
Synthetic fertilizers are designed to provide crops with the nutrients that they need. They offer readily available nutrients that plants can quickly absorb through their roots, making them more efficient and requiring smaller volumes compared to organic alternatives.
On the down side, synthetic fertilizers tend to be quite expensive especially for small scale farmers.
And also when synthetic fertilizers are not applied well they can easily oversaturate soil with nutrients, causing agricultural run-off and groundwater contamination as the plants cannot filter all the nutrients. However, when applied in proper quantities, synthetic nutrients will achieve predictable results and foster strong and vigorous plants.
When you are using synthetic fertilizers, integrate Crop rotation. Different plants uptake different nutrients. Therefore, crop rotation prevents the soil from being depleted of all its nutrients.
